What is the Unity platform?

Unity is the nation's fundraising lottery platform. It's designed to give good causes large and small - from a village playground fund to an international charity - the chance to raise money through their own weekly lottery.

When you join a lottery using the Unity platform, the platform guarantees that at least 50p of every £1 you play goes to your chosen cause. The remaining 50p is used by the platform to provide prizes and cover administration. This means that your chosen cause can run their own fundraising lottery with no ongoing cost to them!

So how does it work, exactly?

For just £1 per week you will be allocated with a unique six-digit lottery number, which will remain yours for as long as you wish to keep playing. You can purchase more than one lottery number if you wish. Winners have to match 3, 4, 5 or all 6 digits of the winning number in the correct place in the sequence.

Every Friday, the lucky winners are sent their prizes automatically, so if you win there is no need for you to claim.

You must be 16 or over to enter.

Have you chosen your cause?

With Unity, each one of our registered causes runs their own lottery on the Unity platform. If you haven’t chosen a cause already, you can find a cause you'd like to support on the Unity website. Choose your cause by browsing our categories from Health to Animals and Pets, and from Children and Youth to International Aid.

However you choose to play, you can be sure that you’re directly supporting the important work of your good cause!
